A friend indeed

about

The first Night Works release in almost three years, this song sees our sad sack protagonist console himself with the mundane and the sacred, because things will get better, they always do ... don't they?

lyrics

Quit school and dropped a pill
Wrote a couple songs forgot to chill though
And waited for you

Joined a band got left behind
Came within an inch near lost my mind
Still waiting for you

Let’s hear it for anger
— It only brought you pain
Give it up for pressure
— It took you down again
Three cheers for success
— You said it never came, so listen to me and I’ll tell you once again

If you have a friend in need, remember - you have a friend indeed

Ride a coat tail shirk the work
Drink until it stops the hurt
I’m aching for you

When it comes to care bury yourself
Sacrifice your mental health
Still aching for you

Let’s hear it for anger
— It only brought you pain
Give it up for pressure
— It took you down again
So much for success
— You said it never came, so listen to me and I’ll tell you

Try to keep it loose so I don’t implode
Remember we were kids when it all flowed
It’s all for you

Try to keep it tight and pay the bills
Try to keep my nose clean don’t get ill
It’s all for you

Let’s hear it for anger
— It only brought you pain
Give it up for pressure
— It took you down again
Three cheers for success
— You said it never came, so listen to me and I’ll tell you once again
If you have a friend in need, remember - you have a friend indeed
